another memorized text from childhood


WAY OF THE CRANE CODE OF ETHICS

As a student in the family of the Martial Arts, I train hard in our Art in order to make my body strong so that I can protect myself, my family and the weak.


I practice our Art faithfully in order that I may come to embody the five maxims: Character, Sincerity, Effort, Etiquette, and Self Control.


And finally, I study my Art so that I may come in to harmony and peace with myself, my environment and, ultimately, all of nature.


My Art is my life. It is my way. Thus, I live my life as I study my Art.”
